Lovely box with a damaged top. What to do? Cover it with cracked eggs shells - what else? I love this look that mimics old ivory. Besides, now you know what to do with all of those old Easter egg shells. Materials:
wooden box
black acrylic paint
egg shells
white glue
clear nail polish
Tools:
brush
wooden skewer
tweezers
Remove the membrane from egg shells. This is a fussy activity best done in front of TV.
Paint the top of the box black. Let dry.
Brush on white glue. Place a piece of egg shell on the glue and push down with the skewer to crack the shell. Learn from my mistake - this is too much glue. I spent a lot of time wiping excess glue out of the cracks.
Use tweezers to fill in any large gaps with small pieces of shell.
After the glue dries, dilute black paint with water and brush over the shells. Wipe off with a paper towel while the paint is still wet.
When dry, use clear nail polish to seal and protect. This is my new favorite sealer. It's cheap, dries super fast and is very glossy. No one objects to the smell. They think that I'm finally doing the girly thing - painting my nails. Fools.

This is crazy cool, I love it! I'll be linking to this.
i've also used clear nail polish, but only for small items- like earrings.
very nice idea of using the eggshells and it looks proffessional indeed :)
Lovely effect!
That's fantastic!

Thanks Cindy. You are the first one (that I know of) to put me on your blog roll. I'm so excited!
Gorgeous! I'm looking around my house now to find something I can cover in eggshells...hmmm....
I'm curious about this membrane removal. Were the shells from raw or boiled eggs? I wonder if it's any easier to remove the membrane from boiled eggs? (Or wash it off raw eggs?)
Thanks!
It doesn't matter if you boil the eggs or not, the membrane loves to adhere to the shell. It's not difficult to remove, just futsy.
